In October of the 568th year of the Altino calendar, Reins Tiren took the royal capital

The ivory white tower of the royal capital under Reins, which can be called the national emblem, has the same magnificent underground palace, through the guidance of various magical buildings, it can't help but converge the spiritual energy of the surrounding mountains and rivers, and absorb the energy in one place.

When the Reyns Civil War broke out last year, the final defense system that relied on these energies was terrifying, but not many people knew that this magical dungeon was still useful in non-combat times.

The lighting and floating objects in the ivory white tower are all activated by absorbing the energy of the underground palace, and when there are strong martial artists who deliberately train themselves, these energies can also assist their cultivation.

When Lancelot and others were engaged in the Japanese strategy war, many excellent mages of the Demon Guild received orders and came to the dungeon to set up an enchantment array. In charge of the commanding work is the respected Mentor Merlene Green, who casts the enchantment spells so complex that many Magi have never even seen them in their lives, and can only guess that this contains the technology of Oriental Immortal Arts based on the flag array and spells on the ground.

Only more than a dozen mages with extremely old qualifications can recognize it, this is whenever there is a martial madman in the white-character family, ignoring life and death to carry out hard training, the Demon Guild is ordered by the chairman to send people to cooperate with the magic circle laid out, guide the surrounding mountains and rivers energy, and press the center of the circle from all directions, and the cultivators condense the strength of the whole body to resist, as long as the control is wrong, they will be immediately smashed into a pool of blood and mud by this huge force.

At that time, the power of the heavenly position had not yet reappeared, and many Bai family masters who had tried their lives to break through were crushed in this kind of suicidal practice, and the magic circle became a sharp weapon for the Reyns royal family to eradicate strong enemies, until the tenth generation of Bai Jia's head Bai Jinxing, successfully practiced here and obtained the power of the heavenly position; after that, his descendant Bai Junhuang inherited such will and strength; and the last time he used this magic circle to practice was a child of the Bai family whose name is not recorded in the genealogy - Bai Qi.

At this moment, the enchantment circle with a radius of ten zhang is densely painted with countless runes in black and red, and every few feet, there is an apricot yellow flag that is also painted with charms, and the outermost circle is twelve large round bronze mirrors with the same height as people, reflecting the light and projecting it to the center.

In the center of the circle is a whirlpool-like crypt, which suddenly sinks and rises again as energy pours in and out, as if the surface is quietly breathing and breathing. Although you can't see it from the outside, you can vaguely feel that there seems to be something inside the crypt......

In charge of the operation of this huge magic circle is Mei Lin, the oldest mage in the current Wizard Guild. Externally looking like an ordinary girl, she sat alone on the periphery of the circle, closing her eyes intently, sensing the flow of qi in the entire space.

She is the only one in the entire Wizard Guild who has a deep understanding of magic and oriental immortal arts, that is to say, as long as she is alone, it is enough to control the energy operation of this magic circle.

"Hello, teacher. ”

For the sake of secrecy and security, no one is allowed to approach this circle, and the only one who can move freely through the more than 100 protective enchantments is Merlin herself, the former Queen of Reyns who can neutralize all enchantments.

"What's the situation here, the energy rush is getting bigger and bigger, can the dungeon withstand it?"

Xiaocao bowed to her esteemed teacher. Due to the fear of interfering with the confluence of energy, she only appeared as a magical image, and as the brilliance around her changed, her figure became clear and hazy as mist.

"Don't worry, the entire protective measures are the same as those of the White Deer Cave Eternal Ice Cave. Lu You has been practicing hard in the same facility for two thousand years, and the ice cave will not necessarily collapse, unless this kid has the ability to break through the strong heavenly position, he will not be able to destroy this magic circle. ”

"So, how long will it take? The battle situation in Free City is tight, and I think he must be unable to let go of his mind......"

"Although the most difficult stage has passed, it will take three months to achieve the desired results. The Eltino people haven't been killed until they are killed, so what's the point of the war?"

Looking at the little grass with a difficult face, Merlin looked like a little girl with a temper, sitting on the stone floor with her arms folded.

"Teacher ......"

"This is a punishment for you, who told you to make a ghost while I was away, what is not easy to practice, but you want to joke with yourself, the descendants of the Bai family are not dead, what are you doing in such a hurry to practice the sixth art? are all children I watched grow up, why do they all cherish themselves so much?"

As soon as Mei Lin said it, Xiaocao lowered her head in shame, this elder has a noble position equivalent to her mother for her, and she cares about herself very much, and she really doesn't want to make her sad. However, I don't regret it, because there are some things that I have to do.

"I'm sorry for you, teacher...... But can't it really be shortened? Three months is too long. ”

The current situation is obscure, what will develop in three months, Xiaocao really doesn't know, to put it to the extreme, it is not impossible to really kill people at the door of Jixia in three months.

As long as there is no major loss of existing strength, even if you kill someone to the door of Jixia, you are not afraid, and you can plan and slowly get back, but the husband is a man of the utmost affection, and if there is any change in his excitement during this time, then such a retreat is not only useless, but harmful.

"A lot of things are not in a hurry, daughter, when you tried to crack the second volume of the Heavenly Demon Sutra, I told you so, and I also told you that even if you succeed in cracking, the vitality of heaven and earth and the movement of people's hearts are not as good as before, and they are useless. You can successfully crack it recently, and get the Dragon Mysterious Treasure Heaven Cong Cloud Sword to practice the law, this is the result of your efforts, but it is also the fate of the law, and it falls together, and there is a certain number in the underworld. ”

Feeling Xiaocao's uneasiness, Mei Lin also had to be right.

"The Heavenly Demon Transformation is an important level for cultivating the Heavenly Demon Skill, and in addition to the cooperation of qualifications, perseverance, and cultivation, it takes more time. What's more, you also guide the hearts of the people and strengthen the emperor's spirit...... It took Temujin three years to practice like this, and this big monkey may not be better than Temujin, so isn't it worth three months?"

The battle situation of the Free City Alliance has not only affected Reins, but also affected martial arts. In particular, it is extremely doubtful what kind of attitude Wang Wu, who is in charge of the military power of martial arts and military training, will adopt.

From the beginning, he had already made it clear that no matter how chaotic the surrounding countries were, as long as they did not enter the realm of Wu Lian, Wu Lian would not intervene. After expressing this message, although he used his troops to refine the border, he only prevented the Ertino army from invading again, and at the same time accepted the refugees who had fled into the country, and issued a strict order to the army not to cross the border under any circumstances.

This practice has caused an uproar in Wu Lian, and it can even be said that if the person who gave the order was not Wang Wu, and he was replaced by another leader, an armed coup would have broken out long ago.

The people of the martial arts orcs are strong, brave and aggressive, this time Zhou Gongjin's strange soldiers are prominent, through the territory of martial arts, and captured most of the free cities in one fell swoop, if this matter is a heavy humiliation of the martial arts orcs, as soon as the news came out, the tribes of martial arts were angry, and they were vying to give the Ertano people a good look.

This kind of situation is especially fierce within the Wang Zi family, in addition to being provoked by the Second Army, there is also a reason that is not easy to say, this situation After Zhou Gongjin's troops pressed Jerusalem, there were finally elders in the clan to speak.

"Five Shao, you can see this matter today, the clansmen can bear it, Twenty-six Shao can't wait!"

Wang Wu is the fifth in the family and is the most popular figure among the children of the Wang family, but there is another person who has the prestige second only to Wang Wu, that is, the twenty-sixth son of the former head of the Wang family - Wang Xizhi.

In the rebellion of Wulian Jinhua that year, Wang Xizhi led a group of young children to join Kublai Khan's camp regardless of his family's position, and escaped after the war and went into exile in a free city. Wang Wu announced that he would be expelled from the house, and no one was allowed to mention his name again, but Wang Xizhi's generosity was a chivalrous man, and he won the hearts of his junior disciples.

It's just that Wang Wu, who has always been mild, has a face like frost, and sternly warns no one to mention this matter again, and for a while, the atmosphere of the Wang Zi family is tense and falls into an insoluble stalemate. Everyone only hopes that Wang Wu's wife, Gongsun Chuqian, can make him change his mind.

"I can't help the twenty-sixth brother, the martial arts compatriots are all hot-blooded, if they are brought into the war, it must be a situation of endless death in the end. There is no such thing as war, and you can't gamble with the lives of your compatriots, as long as Altino doesn't enter the martial arts, then ...... Even if I have to let the twenty-sixth brother sacrifice, I ......

Can only be watched mercilessly here. ”

In front of his wife, Wang Wu does not need to hide, he can tell the truth. In the past, he secretly maintained contact with Wang Xizhi, and these things were never hidden from his beloved wife.

Gongsun Chuqian knew that this man who kept saying that he was ruthless was actually far more affectionate than he showed resoluteness, and in the current expectations of the clansmen, she only had one thing to focus on, that is, to be able to continue to be with this man and cherish the feelings she currently has.

"Don't look at me like that, I say I won't interfere, I won't interfere. ”

Stroking his wife's beautiful face, Wang Wu smiled awkwardly and said, "No matter what you say, I won't leave Wulian." No matter how fast the flight speed of the Heavenly Rank Warrior is, it will take more than three days to get from here to Jerusalem, and I am not Mr. Bai Qi, if something really happens in Jerusalem, even if I want to go, it will be too late, so you can rest assured, right?"

Under the faint starlight, Gongsun Chuqian's smile was as bright as a flower, she held her husband's warm big hand and kissed it lightly in the palm of her hand.

"My husband is a unique dog male in the world, as long as he is determined, he will not lose to anyone, so I am not at ease at all, because ...... From the day we met, you were a duplicitous man. ”

※※※

Since the invasion of the Free Cities by the Eltino Army in late September, the cities of each city have fallen rapidly, regardless of size. Antwerp, which is located in the east-central region, was also broken by Zhou Gongjin not long ago and incorporated into the territory of El Tino.

Not relying on personal strength, Gongjin insisted on attacking the city with the orthodox art of war, which attracted many people to laugh at it, "This is Zhou Gongjin's weakness, the heavenly position under his command is insufficient, and he is afraid of being injured, so he does not dare to use it casually, now is the era of heavenly warfare, the city can be broken in less than an hour, what is the great thing about breaking the city in one day", such an argument is not only free city, but also heard in all parts of the Wind Continent.

However, in the eyes of the decision-makers of several major forces, Gong Jin's insistence on adopting the traditional method of warfare revealed another message, which meant that his attack on the free city was not simply to force peace by force or to achieve some political goals, but to seriously want to annex the free city.

The destructive power of the Heavenly Rank Power is indeed incomparable, and simply to cause destruction of today's scale in the Free City, it only takes a few Heavenly Rank masters to bombard wildly in the air for a few days. However, if the city is breached in this way, people will be frightened and frightened by this abnormal force, but they will not be convinced, and when this abnormal power disappears one day, those who are not satisfied will immediately try to challenge and raise the banner of rebellion.

Military occupation is necessary because, apart from the use of force, only by allowing the occupying party to come into close contact with the occupied side can the goal be achieved through understanding and assimilation. This is Gong Jin's idea, and he also uses practical methods to let the decision-makers of the major forces understand his determination.

"Altino is serious, I don't know what will turn out this time......"

The forces other than Elteno have such confusion, but the matter is actually very simple, if Gong Jin is defeated in the battle of Jerusalem, the coalition forces of the Free City will take advantage of the gap to counterattack and recover the victories he has accumulated all the way; if Gong Jin wins, then after giving the resistance a heavy blow, the final victory will be decided in Shangri-La.

The Battle of Jerusalem was so decisive that supporters on either side were cautious, especially on the Free City side, where many volunteers hurried to Jerusalem to join the Volunteers in order to fight the Irtino and sweep them out of the country.

This momentum made the atmosphere of the entire Free City boiling, and even in those occupied areas that had fallen, there were still people who broke through the interception network of the Eldino army and tried to rush to Jerusalem.

If you look down from the distance, you can see that the camp and the crowd around Jerusalem are rapidly increasing, and if you look far away, a large number of people are approaching this side, but this is above the surface, and below the surface, where you can't see with your eyes alone, there are other travelers coming in this direction.

In it, there is the figure of Reins Zuo Prime Minister Youxue and his escort Hante...... Although Han Te has a lot of complaints about this name, at least Xue has positioned the relationship between the two in this way, because he has no actual combat ability, once he encounters the enemy, he can only let Han Te go out and charge into battle, and he takes the opportunity to smear oil on his feet and call him a guard, which can be said to be well deserved.

"Guards, don't even think about it, how can someone in Han do this kind of day work? If you don't pay me, you don't want me to help you die. ”

"Death for money, I remember that you don't seem to be surnamed Han, even the Shet people you have to blackmail, and you have no conscience, look at that dead Bai Wuji, he is because he took too much ill-gotten gains, so he was divided into nine sections on the street, you took more black money than him, and the strokes of your name are more than his, and if you don't repent, let alone nine paragraphs, you have been divided into ninety paragraphs. ”

It's really a very unwise thing to quarrel with the Xuete people, Youxue first mocked Hante's demon background, and then used Bai Wuji's example to pressure him, anyway, Prime Minister Bai Dacheng has already hung up, and he won't come to settle accounts with himself when he hears the curse, so he took the opportunity to blow nonsense and suppress this demon who wants money to die.

Hunter has already given up his plan to fight with the Shet, not to mention, he still has to ask him, and he can't rashly turn against him.

The reason why Han Te had to walk with Yuxue was because of the magic weapon in Youxue's hand, which was the scroll that was in charge of the last ninja teacher of the Mist Hidden Stream. Although both of them are still a little confused, why a scroll containing the secret recipe for noodle cooking has ninjutsu powers, so that the two of them can escape underground without hindrance, and why does it only react in Yuxue's hands, and if it is held by Hante, the effect of the ability disappears immediately?

"Will it be ......?"

Han Te suddenly thought of one thing, that is, when he was a mercenary on Alcatraz Island in the past, there was a comrade from Japan who mentioned some rules of the ninja sect, including the inheritance of ninja secrets.

"I've heard people say before that Japanese ninjas tend to use their secrets or documents to prevent them from being searched after death or leaking secrets, and the most common example is to change the cover of something less conspicuous. ”

Saying this, even Youxue understood, looked at the scroll in his hand in surprise, and said in a trembling voice: "You mean, this thing...... It's not about making noodles, it's about the highest ninjutsu secret of the Misty Hidden Stream?"

"I'm just speculating, I can't read Japanese, God knows what kind of ninjutsu noodles are written in it?

"I ...... I can only read the Japanese in the book of Blissful Toei, but ...... There seems to be some truth to what you say. ”

Thinking of the misty death of the hidden ghost, but leaving behind this scroll, the importance of which can be known regardless of the importance of it, Youxue's hands suddenly tightened, and his heart was excited and nervous. I have been in the center of national power for so long, and I haven't reaped any benefits, and now I finally see that there is a secret book in my hands, which can be regarded as feng shui in turn, as long as I take this secret book and sell it, I will definitely be able to ......

Han Te saw Youxue's face full of excitement, thinking that he was ecstatic in order to get the secret book, who could guess that he was thinking about reselling this secret book at a high price, and snorted coldly at the moment, and said: "Fat man, it's too early to dream, don't forget that there are people following us above, if you get carried away and are discovered by others, wait a minute, your body will really be divided into more than ninety sections." ”

Before Youxue rescued Hante from the dungeon, and when the two were about to break through the ground and rush to Jerusalem, Hante suddenly stopped his movements and told Youxue that he had been discovered, and that an enemy was chasing him here, and a tough battle was inevitable;

The enemy didn't seem to be very good at tracking the breath of the underground, and when the two of them retreated deep underground and walked slowly, Hant said that he could not feel the enemy's breath anymore.

"But...... Who is the enemy? If they can fly in the sky and track us, they are all heavenly masters, right? There are not many heavenly masters of the enemy......

Youxue calculated the famous order, and muttered: "Should it be...... Is it kissing Xiao Chunchun?"

The two of them were originally hooking their shoulders and backs, and they were running underground together by the scroll, but there was a snow word out, and they knew that it was not good, and the breathing sound of Hante next to him suddenly became heavy, and when Youxue turned his head, he was already red-eyed, gritted his teeth, and looked straight ahead with a sloppy gaze, his fists clenched desperately, and the crisp bone friction exploded endlessly, as if he was about to rush out, fighting to the death with the imaginary enemy who did not exist in front of him.

"Wow! Oops, the madness of asking for money has flare up again!"

There was snow that almost wailed. He really didn't understand, but it was just his sister who killed his father, was it such a big blow? He actually lost his mind every time he heard the name, but fortunately he knew what to do.

"Hey, Hante, Jinshan! There's a big Jinshan over there!"

Specially designed to deal with money-hungry madmen, this tried-and-true first aid method worked this time when he shouted about the tenth time.

"Ahh

"Yo, are you finally willing to wake up? You're the seventh time along the way, you're not annoyed, I'm annoyed, I beg you, wait until we get out of the ground, will you get rabies again?"

"I'm sorry, I'm not ...... at that"

The most ugly ugliness fell into Youxue's eyes, and Han Te could only apologize curtly, otherwise wait for the madness to happen again, this narrow-minded Xuete turned his face, and he was about to be abandoned in the ground in a state of madness, waiting for the day when his sanity returned.

In order to pull the topic away, Hunter said that according to his own conjecture, there must be no doubt that the strong enemy of the two of them will be Chirez. Youxue is very curious, what is that black-skinned monster, although I heard that he is the prince of the demon clan, but just the royal bloodline, is there really so much difference?

"No, the prince is not terrible, but the mad prince is terrible. It's like although the Heavenly Demon Skill is powerful, it is not unbreakable, but if it is performed by a crazy master, anyone who sees it will want to escape. ”

"You mean, just because that guy is insane, you're all scared of him?"

"It's not all like that...... Back then, Qireth was rampant in the Demon Realm, and the tribes that were exterminated in his hands were all three digits, and the inhabitants of the Demon Realm treated him as a plague, and the color changed, but what really made the master fear him was because it was said that among the heirs of His Majesty Yinzhen, he was the only one who carried out the Heavenly Demon Transformation. ”

"What do you mean? Is the poop of the Heavenly Demon? Your master is afraid of a piece of?"

"That's not what it means, the Heavenly Demon Transformation is said to be an important part of the Heavenly Demon Skill, and the word of mouth of the inhabitants of the Demon Realm is a kind of ...... The surging power of the collapse of the sky. There must be a breakthrough in order for the Heavenly Demon Gong to truly achieve great success. The outstanding Great Demon God Kings of the past generations must have carried out the Heavenly Demon Transformation, but whether it can be completed or not depends on personal qualifications and perseverance, and not everyone who has carried out the Heavenly Demon Transformation can succeed. ”

After following Lancelot for a long time, even if he doesn't know martial arts, Youxue knows what Lancelot is practicing, and when he heard Han Te say this, he was curious: "It sounds like it is very powerful, so why doesn't my family boss have this change?"

"So...... Your monkeys are a piece of shit!"

Without concealing his contempt, Hunter didn't have much of a good impression of Lancelobben, although he did things for Reyns several times, but he didn't recognize money and people, to put it bluntly, if he really wanted to choose, he would rather be led by Bai Wuji or Zhou Gongjin.

"I don't think the same way as you, following the boss of my family, although it may not be safe, but at least the casualties are because of dealing with the enemy, not because they were betrayed by their own leaders, if it is the second white child or the iron-masked ladyboy, it will be difficult to say. ”

Youxue muttered: "So I've been worried, will it be ...... kissing Xiao Chunchun"

"Roar!Roar~~~"

"Wow, I'm sorry, I said it wrong, Hante, Jinshan, Jinshan!"

"Uh......h What happened to me? You fat man, don't keep playing with people, okay! My brain is about to be blown up by you. ”

"I'm sorry, but ...... It's really funny, as soon as you mention a certain word, you'll immediately be an idiot and drool, and no one will believe it. ”

"Well, it's really fun, it seems to be fun, how about a discussion, let me have fun too?"

The sudden sentence made the two comrades-in-arms who were entangled suddenly froze, first to confirm that the sentence was not from their own or the other party's mouth, and then to confirm their current location, which was still a rock formation hundreds of feet below the surface, surrounded by thick earth and rocks, and it was impossible for passers-by to interject a word by the way.

When all this was certain, the two of them looked behind each other, and there was a young man with black skin wearing a black leather coat and leather pants, rubbing his sharp nails and smiling brightly.

"Odd, Chires?"

As soon as they let out an exclamation, the shoulders of the two of them tightened, and they were grabbed by a claw, followed by a body leaning over, and laughed in a hidden but gloomy voice: "You have the ability, there is a way to escape here, let's play again, try how far you two can run this time." ”

※※※

"Attack! The third and fourth teams followed me, and the rest of the men guarded the door. ”

"Move fast, I will withdraw when I say withdraw, do you think the Iron-Faced Shemale will give you a second chance?"

In the center of the vortex of fierce battle, Niel commanded her men to lead a cavalry team of well-equipped, highly skilled and poorly trained cavalry, ignoring the dense rain of knives, guns and arrows, shuttling back and forth through the enemy formations, accumulating blood and corpses in her path.

The night before, the Eltino army had launched a surprise attack, which was not a surprise attack because the Jerusalem side had already prepared, and a fierce battle broke out between the two sides, which was the beginning of the battle after each left a certain number of casualties.

However, it was only before the outbreak of the war that Niel discovered that the problem was unusual.

"What? No one here in Jerusalem knows how to lead soldiers? Aren't you called the Four Knights of the White Night? Why do you only ride horses and don't fight?"

Two days ago, Niel originally thought that she was just a temporary guest, and that she should obey the tactical command of her master, and assign a position after the battle, so that it was enough. However, when she casually asked about the arrangement of the battle, Wang Youjun's answer was so brief that she almost fell off her horse when she heard it.

"What? This is not a briefing? You call such a mess a tactical plan? Appointing a mid-level commander to play separately can't be abbreviated to such an extent, this is not called a separate play, you clearly give it to the enemy to break through, aren't the disciples of the White Deer Cave all civil and military all-rounders?"

"That's right, I learned internal skills and swordsmanship in Bailu Cave, and I have obtained a professor's qualification for my literary attainments, and I have studied Taoism deeply, and in addition, my proud calligraphy can be called the world's ......."

"Enough, the two armies are fighting, will the Eltino people ask you for an autograph? I finally know why Kublai Khan was defeated in the end in the Jinhua Rebellion......

"There is a specialization in the art industry, not everyone who practices martial arts is a genius of war!"

In just a few words, Nile was covered in a cold sweat when she heard it. It is true that in the current war, the heavenly position battle is the decisive factor, if you can't gain an advantage in the heavenly position battle, the victory of the ground battle will be reversed at any time, but if the ground battle is defeated and lost, even if the heavenly position battle is won, it cannot reverse the fact that your side has suffered heavy casualties, and it is also a big defeat.

Ask a little deeper, although the Knights Templar in Jerusalem was originally claimed to be one of the three major knights of the Wind Continent, but that refers to equipment and average martial arts. However, no matter how high the average quality of an army is, if it neglects to drill and has no tacit understanding of fighting with each other, it will be able to exert less than 40 percent of its strength when it goes to the battlefield.

The knights of Jerusalem usually carried out disaster relief and delivery of supplies, and never intervened in the war, in order to show the noble position of the clergy, so they won a wide reputation, but the price paid was that when Niel urgently summoned and questioned, the officers of the knights did not answer the question.

"Brave charge? You don't call this bravery, it's clear that you rushed to commit suicide with your son, and it depends on the situation if you want to rush!"

After a little inquiry, Nier already felt that she was about to faint, and in the end, she could only hope for a fluke to confirm with Wang Youjun, and then get the worst answer.

"To put it simply, the position of Commander Michael is because of her martial arts and good deeds, not because of her ability to command in battle?"

"Of course, our clerical community is anti-war, if we appoint a bloody war madman as the leader, then how can we explain to the gods and believers? ”

“...... If my godsister had told me about this first, I would not have come to Jerusalem to die with you. ”

In desperation, Nier didn't care about the hustle and bustle, so she had to take the initiative to grab the command and be responsible for dealing with Gongjin's ground attack and defense.

In terms of her qualifications as a soldier, Nier is far from being a genius in military science, and if she wants to be the coach and confront the well-known famous general Zhou Gongjin, she feels an inexplicable anxiety just thinking about the seriousness of the matter.

It's just that she has served as a commander in the North Gate Tianguan for a period of time, and has actually experienced several large and small offensive and defensive battles, Nier has a lot of military experience under the tutelage of Gengoro, and compared with the generals in Jerusalem, her military ability is the strongest. What's more, just looking at the guerrilla ability to disrupt the enemy brigade with a small number of cavalry, and come and go, even Gong Jin has to sigh to himself.

"Look at that girl, it's rare to be able to glow with such beauty on a dusty battlefield......

Those cavalry who rushed to the army, under her leadership, their mobility increased by at least two percent, and their movements were so agile and beautiful that they could almost be included in the textbooks. ”

If Nier knew that Gong Jin, who was watching the battle in the enemy formation, gave her such an evaluation, it would be enough to be very proud.

However, through her influence, Marshal Zhou Gongjin's alias has been famous all over the world since then, which is a regrettable thing for Gongjin.

"I do wear a mask, but who doesn't wear a mask when I am born in the world? And I don't see what wearing a mask has to do with shemales?"

When the battlefield shouted loudly "cut off the head of the Iron Mask Ladyboy" and "The Iron Mask Demon will go to hell", Gong Jin looked at the staff around him with great annoyance, and saw that they wanted to get angry one by one, but there were some expressions that could not help laughing.

After a day or two of fighting, both sides suffered casualties and could not tell the difference between victory and defeat. Although it is convenient, Niel led the knights, who were inferior in numbers, tacit understanding and training, against the undefeated Eltino army, and it was already surprising and even unusual to be able to fight to such an extent.

The benefits of the victory were obvious, and when Niel had just taken over the cavalry and analyzed the situation to the officers, explaining the merits of the enemy and the enemy, several people angrily accused her of "singing down" Jerusalem and the people of the true God, and that she was a conspiracy with different intentions, and as a result, the king's right army had to come out to enforce military law, so as to maintain order.

After several battles, Niel was treated completely differently, and each time she returned to the city with her army, a large number of soldiers and civilians surrounded the road and competed to offer her praise and flowers.

"Marshal Niel! You're wonderful. ”

"Please lead us and get the Eltinors out, justice will prevail, and the only true God will prevail!"

After Nier's angry lesson once or twice, no one in Jerusalem dared to call her "Marshal Yamamoto" to her face, but in the face of such support and praise, Nier felt very uneasy.

In the past, at the North Gate Tianguan, every time the battle ended, Gengoro would ask her to issue a military order, so that all the sergeants could properly relax and relax, but they also took various measures to suppress the arrogance in the army, so that they understood that there were still tough battles to come, and they should not be careless or relax their vigilance.

But in Jerusalem, it seems that it is very difficult to do this, especially because I cannot carry out my own orders, which is very nerve-wracking, and in the end, I am still just an outsider. Moreover, the atmosphere in the last few days has been very stuffy, although the Iron Mask Demon has launched an attack, but from his own point of view, it lacks the overwhelming courage of his usual city-breaking attacks, and only stops at tentative attacks.

Perhaps it was because of the different levels of strength that Zhou Gongjin had to be cautious and put away the unreserved offensive methods of the past! Otherwise, was it deliberately playing psychological warfare to make the defending side have an arrogant mentality? However, in the situation of insufficient supplies and the spread of epidemic among the army, could the Eltino army still have a way to delay?

Just by calculating, there are countless possibilities, without Gengoro by her side, Nier can't guess, the feeling of boredom is getting stronger and stronger, entering the city and seeing the crowd of cheers rushing over, Nier's anger is also straight up, and I see a guy wearing green clothes, who seems to be called Madonno or something, clapping his hands and walking over, the whole anger is full of anger.

"Miss Niel's heroic posture makes us admire it very much, she is like a butterfly in the wind, it is really ......"

Before she could finish speaking, Niel flipped off the horse's back with great skill, grabbed the other's shoulders with both hands, and then hit her head with a hammer. In a hurry, neither of them had the strength of the Heavenly Position, and after a muffled sound and a painful snort, Nier let go of her hand, and the other party had already fallen.

"Oh, Miss Nil, did the Madonolet brothers do anything wrong, why did you ......?"

"Wang Youjun!"

In the girl's angry shouts, the same shoulder grab, Wang Youjun didn't even have time to dodge, so he grabbed it, and then smashed a vicious head hammer on the forehead.

"Ahh......h

The voice hadn't heard much, but it was vaguely familiar, and Nile instinctively turned around and grabbed her shoulder for another headbutt. This time the sound was much louder, but after the impact was muffled, the sound of the wail was a little strange, it was actually the voice of an old man.

"You...... Are you?"

Niel was really taken aback, because the victim who fell to the ground was none other than the current owner of the Oriental family, the Oriental Xuanlong who had a long-forgotten relationship with Lancelot.

※※※

Reinforcements from the Eastern Family have also arrived in Jerusalem, which is a great joy for Niel. Although it is a pity that the Heavenly Rank combat power has only increased by one member, but considering the strength of the Dongfang family, Nier doesn't think that they can send three or five more, just the head of the family coming in person is enough to show sincerity.

Having said that, her mouth was unceremonious, as if she was deliberately picking a bone in an egg, and in a harsh tone, she kept counting the erotic old man who was disrespectful and had been staring at her snow-white and slender legs from behind with salivating eyes.

"What are you joining forces to resist the enemy? Your Dongfang family has no sincerity at all, so it's just you and the supply team, why don't you send a few more troops over?"

"Yes, your eldest brother Xinna's concubine is also from my Dongfang family, if she also comes to help, you can't say that we only send one person. ”

"Nonsense old man, you yourself said that it was my eldest brother's little wife, how can this count?"

"Why bother with that, if it's just a matter of numbers, the walls and the army of Jerusalem are enough, and if these are not enough to determine the victory, then no amount of people is of any use. ”

Nier had to admit that when the old man put away his smiling face and paced forward with a calm expression, he did give people a kind of suzerain's style, and taught people not to ignore his identity as the head of the Oriental family.

Dongfang Xuanlong said that after Japan's second demon earthquake and land sinking, the Dongfang family was also affected, although there were a few more beginners who entered the small heavenly position, and there were good players who had the hope of entering the small heavenly position, but they could not control their own strength at all, and once they went to the battlefield, they injured themselves before they were injured, and at this time they were sent to confront the masters of Al Tieno, which was simply sent out to commit suicide.

"So, I have to let me, the old bone, come out and sell my life, alas, education is really troublesome, I would have known that I would have sent them all to the snowy mountain, and the old man should enjoy the blessings at home, and touch the butt of the beautiful chick......"

Originally, Nier nodded frequently in the first part, but she didn't know that this sentence would suddenly pop up in the end, Fang Zi was stunned, and actually gave the old man the opportunity to slap her elastic beautiful buttocks, and then ran out laughing wildly.

"You old man!"

It's too late to chase after him, after all, the other party is a professional pervert with hundreds of years of experience, and the speed at which he escapes without a trace in one blow, even Oda Xiang has to be shocked, not to mention like Gengoro, who stands in place every time he has an accident and lets her beat her.

However, Nier wasn't really angry, because she had heard Gengoro say before that after Bai Wuji's assassination and fall, this old man, who was always full of energy, seemed to be old, as if he had lost his soulmate, and he seemed very depressed, and if he was recovering his spirit now, he should really be happy for him.

On the other hand, the grain and grass transported by the Dongfang family did help a lot, and Dongfang Xuanlong also brought a piece of news, that is, Zhou Gongjin did not seem to plan to fight a quick battle, but gradually surrounded Jerusalem from the outside.

With his superior forces, he was indeed capable of doing so, but in view of the current series of internal troubles of the Second Army, the leadership of Jerusalem could not help but be stunned, because if the fighting dragged on, the army of Eltino, which was short of food and the spread of disease, would not be able to hold out even more than the besieged but well-fed Jerusalem.

"But you have to be careful, on my way here, I saw the Eltino people release falcons and cheetahs, and they formed a team to completely cut off the intelligence link here. ”

The information brought by the Eastern Xuanlong was invaluable, and it let the Jerusalem side know how to take measures.

"On the surface, Senior Brother Gongjin has cut off all of our external contacts, so that we can no longer get information from the outside world, and we can't spread the news. ”

Even if the war started, Wang Youjun still called Gong Jin his senior brother, and if it were elsewhere, someone would have openly questioned his loyalty to his side, but this did not happen here, which made Niel feel very lucky, because if he was in that environment, he would not be able to stay for even half a moment.

"Don't you Bailu Cave disciples know how to use the Oriental Immortal Technique? Put a water mirror or something, and you can communicate with each other right away. ”

"Under normal circumstances, this is the case, but the second senior brother is the strongest Dao cultivator in the White Deer Cave, he has already laid an enchantment of spiritual wave interference nearby, we have just tested it, and any water mirror is a blur and cannot be transmitted. ”

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone knew that the matter was serious, but Wang Youjun still seemed quite calm.

"If Second Senior Brother's plan is really so thorough, then it will be difficult for us to communicate with the outside world, whether we send envoys or animals, and the only way to break through the blockade is to send Heavenly Rank Combat Power, but it is not cost-effective. ”

Wang Youjun said: "It's just that the second senior brother still underestimated us, maybe after a long period of observation, he has mastered all the channels for the Qinglou Alliance to transmit information in the past, but there are still some things he doesn't know, that is, technology." ”

Even though it was a military meeting, Michael did not attend, and everyone didn't even know where she was, and only Wang Youjun and Madonoh were in charge. Under their leadership, Niel and Dongfang Xuanlong traveled through more than a dozen buildings to a deserted courtyard.

In the past few days, Niel knew that many buildings in Jerusalem had been closed due to disrepair, waiting for maintenance and opening, and that she had no time to wander around because of her busy military affairs, but now as Wang Youjun went deep into this courtyard, she saw that there were many stone piles among the abandoned grass and trees, scattered irregularly, one in the east and one in the west, which seemed to be chaotic, but there was some kind of unspeakable qi fluctuations.

"It's ......"

"The equipment of the Chiba family...... The ruins haven't been used for about 2,000 years, right? It looks like it's gone, but it can still be useful in an emergency. ”

Wang Youjun's calm explanation surprised Nier. She had heard Gengoro mention that behind the Qinglou Alliance, there was a deeper and larger organization named Chiba, which was older than the Qinglou Alliance, and had been secretly influencing the movements of the Wind Continent since before the Kyushu War. Although these things are highly confidential, it is not surprising that Wang Youjun will know about them, but judging by the calm tone of his voice, his relationship with this organization is deeper than expected!

"Don't worry too much, I'm nothing special, it's just ...... Just like I, as a paladin in Jerusalem, but also a disciple of the White Hart Cave, the current celestial warriors have multiple roles. ”

Wang Youjun said: "The area around Jerusalem, along with several nearby cities, once had a very prosperous primeval civilization, and then the civilization collapsed, and people built cities on the ruins, with the current Jerusalem as the center, the Chiba family will choose appropriate managers for each generation to protect these ruins, most of them are for their own people, but occasionally they will choose outsiders who can be trusted enough to serve as guardians...... Maybe this is also the way the Chiba family uses to absorb new blood!"

Raising his hand high, Wang Youjun pressed towards several stone piles in the air, and Madonno also pushed other stone piles towards a specific position.

"No matter how prosperous a civilization was back then, it is now just a pile of wasteland relics, and I think it is a very appropriate choice for religious groups to be set up here, but I can't imagine that these relics will one day be transferred to military use. ”

When Wang Youjun and Madonno finished arranging, the light blue light swam in the stone pile, faint and blazing, and kept stringing different shapes.

Wang Youjun took out an old scroll and pressed it on the pile of stones while flipping through it. As he moved, the light array in the stone pile became more and more dazzling, and blue light and purple light were staggered and densely strung together. Five-pointed stars and six-pointed stars followed by many irregular bright patterns, colorful lights, reflecting the faces of the four people present, all of which were strange and magnificent.

"The explanation in the manual is that we are now using a signal called Mohs code, and when we send a message from here, Shangri-La will receive it, and then no matter how the situation evolves, we can rely on this system of relics to communicate with the outside world. ”

Wang Youjun said: "But this is also our last channel, if the second senior brother really wants to block us, he will definitely send heavenly combat power to attack this ruin, so we must be strictly vigilant." ”

Niel next to her nodded when she heard this, but she was secretly amused in her heart. Why is it like this every time, the latest and most secret technology is useless, and it always takes some old ruins from thousands of years ago to solve the problem, doesn't this represent the development of civilization for thousands of years, and it is all wasted?

Fang thought to himself, but Dongfang Xuanlong next to him whispered a word.

"Be careful, girl, no matter what the situation is, for here...... You're always an outsider. ”

※※※

The next day, for Nier, who was in charge of the military affairs, the situation in front of her changed strangely.

It had only been a few days of offensive and defensive battles, and the casualties were not fierce, but the Second Army was not exhausted, both the number of dead and the defensive support were much worse than the previous days, and when Niel led the team to charge, she felt as if she could easily cut the enemy formation, and came and went freely.

Even, under Nier's attack, for the first time, the Eltino army was unable to bear it and moved its position back. When many of the Eltino soldiers fled in a hurry, they were chased by the Templars from behind, and a single shot pierced the body, and in a few strokes, countless corpses appeared on the ground.

At the end of the day's fighting, the Eltino army hastily collected the bodies of the dead and retreated the camp two miles.

From the point of view of Jerusalem, this was simply a precursor to a great victory, and the knights and warriors rejoiced, and after returning to the city, they set off one roar after another of excitement, and even forgot the prohibition of drinking in time of war, and took the wine offered by the people, and drank heartily, and the atmosphere of caution and fear in the city was as lively as a festive event.

In such an atmosphere, the cadres of the Knights Templar broke out into a heated dispute with their interim commander.

"Yes, there is a shortage of food and a plague in the army of Altino, and they have also divided their forces to surround Jerusalem, leaving a weak squad that cannot withstand our onslaught. Do you think I don't know about these tactical weaknesses that led to the defeat of the enemy?"

Niel slammed on the wall and said angrily, "The problem is, don't you think it's strange that it's so easy to win?"

The Second Army is the chief strong soldier of Eltino, who has come all the way and conquered most of the free cities, is it just to give us victory?"

In charge of an army, the responsibility is not only to bring the army to victory, but in many cases, trouble only arises after victory. In the past, Nier Gengoro could rely on, and he always made appropriate suggestions before problems occurred, but after the war, he often ignored his wry smile and unceremoniously asked him to take care of it and run to sleep by himself, but now he ...... Niel is on her own.

The situation was more troublesome than expected, and when she yelled, "I don't think I'm so great that I would let the enemy take the initiative to give me credit," the knights at the banquet responded with a natural expression, "The real great thing is the gods of heaven, through Miss Niel, who bring victory to the knights of devout faith", and Niel, who heard this answer, kicked out the door on the spot.

"Write a brush! Get out of here!"

Nier, who was almost angry, found Wang Youjun on the city tower.

It was already late at night, and he did not participate in any celebrations, but he was dressed in simple white clothes, armed with swords and swords, and in the strong wind full of cold, he commanded his soldiers to look at the position of the Eltianor army from the castle tower, monitor every move there, and maintain vigilance.

"I finally know now, why did the Bai family want to seize the power of Reins?" Niel said angrily: "If the military power is handed over to you religious maniacs, Reins will die eight hundred years ago, you fools are ready to ascend to heaven together and go to see your bird gods!"

These words may not be like this anywhere else, but in a religious holy city like Jerusalem, it is the worst sin of disrespect, and the surrounding soldiers immediately changed their faces, and some even clenched their guns, and their eyes showed obvious hostility.

"You all go down first, I want to communicate with the acting head of the regiment and deal with a little misunderstanding. ”

Wang Youjun waved his hand to repel the defenders at the head of the city, and when only he and Nier were left in the entire tower, and the strong wind was enough to keep the words from leaking, he showed a wry smile and shook his head: "That's basically true, but you can change the word you to them, because I'm not a religious fanatic, and I don't believe in religion." ”

"You're not religious? aren't you a paladin from Jerusalem?"

"A warrior is useless to believe in anything but his own hands and weapons. I don't even believe in gods in Wulian, why do I believe in religion?" Wang Youjun smiled and said: "For me, religion is just a form and a prop. No matter what kind of organization it is, as long as I can do good deeds and help the people, I will be very devout in my faith. ”

"But you ...... like that"

"Don't be so surprised, it's very troublesome to do good, and sometimes even if you want to help people, they don't necessarily want to accept it. For example, when a natural disaster occurred in Wulian, Reins wanted to send relief materials over, but because of inter-ethnic suspicion and hatred, Wulian people might rather die than accept these life-saving materials, resulting in unnecessary deaths and injuries. ”

In this regard, the Holy Religion in Jerusalem is indeed very effective, there are many believers, and it is easy to communicate with each other, as long as the guidance is appropriate, it will soon be able to unite people's good hearts. Although we have been saying that we have been helping the distressed all these years, if there is no organization behind the scenes, we will not be able to do anything with personal kindness. ”

Looking at Nier's stupid appearance, Wang Youjun said: "As long as I can continue my current work, I can believe anything I teach." Most of the Four Knights of the White Night have such thoughts, so we affirm the existence of the Holy Sect, but there are positive and negative sides to everything, and the faith is too pious, and sometimes you can't even see things in front of you clearly, you seem to have suffered a little, don't you?"

Awakened by this remark, Niel suddenly thought of her reason for coming here, and was about to open her mouth to scold, when she suddenly smelled a strange sour smell, and the middle person wanted to vomit, and immediately frowned.

"What does it smell like?

After a few sniffs, Niel turned her gaze to the Eltino Army, where a raging fire was burning, and thick black smoke was reaching into the sky, and it was too far away to see what was burning.

"Heh, in vain you are a general of an army, and you have experienced several large-scale battles, why haven't you even smelled this smell?

Back then, the battle of Jinhua, we couldn't hear it every day. ”

Wang Youjun said: "This is the smell of corpses, the Eltino army is burning corpses, and this is the smell that comes over." ”

Hearing the explanation, Niel almost threw up. In the past, in the North Gate Tianguan, Gengoro knew that she hated these smells, and every time after the end of the war, she used the Taiyan Academy or the magic guide army, either using high-tech equipment to vaporize and evaporate the corpses, or using a large-scale magic circle to sink the corpses into the ground, bury them automatically, and clean them up in half an hour, never having the opportunity to deal with thousands of corpses on the ordinary battlefield.

"I have also worked hard for these Eltinos, who have come to die in a foreign land, hoping that their souls will be able to sleep in peace. ”

Although he said that he did not believe in God or religion, Wang Youjun still made a posture of prayer and prayed for the blessings of the deceased.

Niel covered her nose and looked at the fire miles away, thinking that according to this situation, there were many casualties among the Eltino army, and many of them died not on the battlefield, but from the disease. If you are the coach and face this situation, you can't even think about retreating, but ......

"I know what? I am very satisfied with myself, I am very proud, I am in my youth, I am strong in martial arts, I am beautiful, I have a short temper, but I never make trouble unreasonably, my head is not smart, but I still know the general situation, I have a little military talent, I have been a thief for a few years, and I am famous...... Ah, other than that, I'm pretty confident in my legs. ”

said something inexplicably, and even Wang Youjun in prayer was stunned for a moment, not understanding why she was boasting at this time.

"I want to say that while I have faith in myself, I know who I am, and no matter how arrogant I am, I never thought I could defeat that Iron-Faced Ladyman, at least...... Isn't it that simple, shouldn't it be the way it is now? We didn't shed a drop of blood, we didn't suffer any heavy losses, that's unreasonable......

Despite her complacency and pride, Nile is very measured. If she had also been devout in her faith, she would have been able to blame the gods for the current situation, as most of the Jerusalem knights do, but she was a reasonable person, and the more she thought about it, the more distressed she became.

Gong Jin is a famous general on the Wind Continent, and if he wants to lead an army to confront him, Nier bears a lot of psychological pressure. On the day I took over the Order, I had nightmares at night, dreaming that the Second Army had suddenly made some strange move, so that I lost my armor and had nothing.

If his caution is correct, then how should he interpret the current situation? Is it really that iron-masked ladyboy who has bad luck and has made himself a big bargain? Or is he not worthy of his name, he is not good at the dark war under the table, and he has been disgraced by the measures of the Qinglou Alliance? Or ...... What is he planning? If so, what is it?

Why can't your stupid brain come up with anything?

“......”

Looking at Nier's distressed expression, Wang Youjun was apologetic. This girl is not from Jerusalem, or even from the Free City, but she has to bear such a heavy responsibility, and she confronts the second senior brother and fights wits, although it is a natural result to divide labor by ability, but she is still very sorry for her.

"Wait, what's that like? Somebody's doing something in the city!"

Originally staring at the enemy camp, Nier's heart moved, and when she looked back, she saw a faint blue light somewhere in the city, which was the ruins that Wang Youjun took everyone to see yesterday, and had also warned at that time that this was the last external communication channel at present, and it was necessary to beware of enemy sabotage, but now it suddenly lit up, but Wang Youjun was here, could it really be that there was an enemy sneaking in to destroy?

Thinking like this, Niel immediately urged her strength and flew over.

"Wait, that could be ......"

Wang Youjun wanted to stop it, but he was a step too slow, so he had to chase after him.
